So Javier Gomez has made three wins in a row in Auckland for now. Great result!

Gomez and Brownlee went close to each other all the bike course and most of the 10km run. And only at the last lap three-time world champion Gomez left behind his British rival.

Brownlee noted that Gomez had been too strong near the end of the run."As I keep saying the thing about (Gomez) is that I'm always going to see him in the race because he's going to be out at the front of the swim and he's a great cyclist and then the run.""To be honest he destroyed me today.''

New Zealander Ryan Sissons finished sixth. This is great result and he meet the criterion of a top-eight placing to secure an automatic nomination for the New Zealand Commonwealth Games team for Glasgow.
